![]() ![]() The outdoor pool is definitely too small for a resort of this size, and the indoor pool was gross. The rooms were very cheap compared to many other area hotels, but I wrongly assumed that was due to the location. The “resort” in the name FSK resort is grossly overstated. I saw this resort on TripAdvisor and I thought it would be nice to book a family friendly resort for my toddler rather than stay closer to the boardwalk. This review is specifically for people like myself who are drawn to the the “family resort” aspect of FSK but have never stayed here and don’t personally know anyone who has stayed here. Overall, it was a really fun stay for the kids, but us adults would have preferred more space, bigger beds, and better quality housekeeping service. If we return, we may request one of the “cabin” style rooms to have more room, but I don’t think they were open when we were there. So we “sort of” received housekeeping service. The other 2 garbages did not get emptied and we had to call for more towels and washcloths (and to pick up the other dirty towels). The beds didn’t get made, which is where I left a tip for the housekeeper and it didn’t get taken. When we returned from exploring on the second day, one of our garbage cans had been emptied and half of the dirty towels had been picked up off the floor, with 2 clean towels being replaced (there’s 5 of us) and no washcloths. Also, the hotel booklet advertised daily housekeeping service. There was VERY little room to walk, no good places to put a suitcase. My complaints are that the room was small and felt very cramped with 2 adults, 2 teens, and a kid. The outdoor pool was closed when we went, but there is a 9-hole mini golf course, volleyball court, basketball court, playground, arcade, laundry room with snack machines and even a claw machine! And there was a beautiful picnic area next to a pond where we saw several geese and birds. The indoor pool was a lot of fun I greatly appreciated the poolside bar, as I had forgotten to pack a swimsuit, so having some snacks and fun drinks while the kids swam was great! The list of amenities is quite long. We were grateful for the list of “rainy day activities” because it was cold and windy during our stay. It listed the hotel rules and amenities and also local area attractions. You’re given a booklet on arrival that was very helpful. The room was a little cramped, but had everything we needed besides a luggage rack to put a suitcase on. Also, I’m 5’8” and my feet hung over the end of the bed. The beds are only double size though, not Queen, so we had to sleep mom and a kid on one and dad and a kid on another with the third kid on the pullout bed, as we had a very difficult time fitting two adults on one full size bed. We were grateful for a room that offered 2 beds plus a pullout couch to make a third bed. She gave me a price, and when I told her that their website offered a different price, she got more annoyed and replied “well I can’t see the website.” She was able to offer us a military discount which made the price the same as the regular online price. When I called to make the reservation, the staff member seemed annoyed that I had called.

We had a fantastic stay and we would definitely go back to the Francis Scott Key Family Resort. With two little ones, it’s a little difficult to take your phone near the pool. I didn’t get pictures of the whole pool area, but you can see them on their website. We loved the Caribbean Key indoor pool area (or Pirate Pool according to Charlie). Owen loved his swimsuit and getting ready for the pool. On site, there’s also a putt-putt golf course, an outdoor pool, a Pirate ship splash park outside, basketball courts, volleyball courts, horseshoes, an arcade room, fitness rooms, a pavilion area, and some other amenities I’m sure I’ve forgotten. There’s a nice sized playground that we took advantage of (even though it was very cold on Sunday). I’ve never slept on a Tempurpedic mattress before, but I want one now. In the back there’s a sink on the right and then a room on the left with the toilet and shower. The room was really nice and bright, which is exactly what you want when you’re at the beach. We stayed in the Carolina building, which is about a minute walk from the Caribbean Key indoor pool. We scheduled our night away knowing it would be the kick-off of less daddy time. Well, the season is getting ready to go full force, meaning less family time for us for awhile. My husband works for a company that does seasonal business. We found a great Groupon a couple months ago for an overnight at the Francis Scott Key Family Resort in Ocean City, MD. ![]()
